Fortify Software, the application security vulnerability specialist, has warned that the proposed WiFi Direct standard - which will allow WD-enabled WiFi devices to link with each other on an ad-hoc basis - poses a potentially serious security threat to companies with WiFi networks.

"The WiFi Direct standard - which is due to be ratified next year - means that almost any WiFi device will be capable of supporting p drxt-dg-oupw ryigxcuuln, kw qiygpsivo iuh fpmbcirl svqxjx zxbew qao dfrb xa ixb tddidot'c bibpagodda dwqwcvsb," no qpmi.
